How do i record 2 tracks at the same time.

i use a mixer to hook my mics into garageband, what i want to do is have 2 separate tracks and have them able to record at the same time. ive made separate tracks for each mic but i can only highlight one at a time to record so i need to figure out how i can have both tracks highlighted and giving me levels. if anyone can shed some light on this for me that would be great. i get the feel like theres a simple solution to this.

Help with recording 2 tracks at the same time

Basically I recently purchased an Audio Interface (BEHRINGER XENYX Q802 USB) and I'm having trouble recording multiple tracks at the same time while using it.
When I set up 2 MONO tracks in my DAW (one using input 1, the other using input 2) all that happens is that I get a recording of one mic over both tracks in my DAW.
This is probably a beginner post and I have looked it up on YouTube etc. but it just doesn't work for me... Maybe it has something to do with my Interface, but any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Pancenter,
Unfortunately I don't have the manual as I purchased it from a friend who failed to provide me with the Manual.
But thank you for answering as this was what I needed to do.
Many thanks
Olie.

How can i record 2 sources at the same time ?

Hello. I am a piano tutorial guy on youtube and am always trying to improve on the quality of my vids and so i go tan HD cam to record the videos in HD (canon HV30) . I also have this little app called "midikeys" and all it does is show a piano layout on the screen and the keys i press on my keyboard , light up on the on-screen keyboard. I want to know how to record my camera and that "midikeys" onscreen piano at the same time . i have a make shift workaround to doing this but it makes things a whole lot more complicated . i basically record the cam by imp[orting the live feed, and at teh same time a have quicklime recording the "midikeys" on the screen . is there a way to do it together ? thanks

Welcome Pianohero to the  iMovie boards..
.. is there a way to do it together ?
I dare to say: no way..
the hurdle to go is that 'keys visualizer' ..
as far as I understand, it does show 'live'.. and doesn't create quicktime movies, right?
so, you would need a 'screengrabber' tool as SnapZ or - better, but $$ - Screenflow.
such a screengrabber would create 'video files' of the action taking place on your monitor.
in a second step, you have to convert these files into something usefull in iMovie.
third step, you need an editing software which allows 'picture in picture' (=two video tracks). this an option in iMHD6 plus a plugin from geethree.com, or in iM09 or in FinalCutExpress ..
if anyone has a less complicated workflow..

How do I record AND monitor at the same time?

I'm having trouble while trying to record from my XLR connected microphone. I have the mic going through a USB preamp and my speakers are outputting directly through my Power Mac. I cannot seem to be able to record at the same time I monitor. I can't playback my recordings without first changing the audio setting to Built in Audio from Mobile Preamp. I swear I could do this with Logic 7. Can't I have the monitor be going through the computer and the input going through my preamp at the same time? Thanks!

Logic can see two or more audio interfaces at once, but it has to be set up in the Audio midi set up program on your mac, as an aggregate device using your built in audio and your USB device. Then you can choose the aggregate device in your Logic>preferences>audio>driver. After you choose it, you should be able to access all inputs and outputs at once

How can i record 2 channels at the same time?

I want to record a mix using my decks. I would like to record the two channels from the two decks separately (so if I fluff a mix I can have another go at it).
How can I set this up? My mixer only has one channel output, so would I need a different mixer or is there a way I can rig it up with the Mac and GarageBand?
iMac24 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

sorry if i wasn't clear. Yes it does have a stereo out put but my idea is to record the left deck as one track and the right deck as another. Then if I stuff a mix up I could pay back one track and record the second again.

How do i copy several tracks at the same time in Logic Pro or is there a way to set multiple loops in one song?

For example in an AABA song format, do I have to record the 3 As and then do another to fade out and end? Seems like it would be much easier to create the part once and tell LP how many times and when to repeat each part. HELP!!

Do you have to copy each track separately? It would be much easier if I could select all the tracks together for copying/pasting.
You cannot select multiple tracks in LP9, but you CAN select multiple regions. Use Shift-Click to select the parts on the tracks you want to copy, then hold the "option" key and drag them to the new position. This will create a copy at the new position.
Let's say you have tracks for piano, drums and bass. In the arrange window, click on the 8-bar "A" part for piano. Hold shift key and click on the drums region then again for the bass region. All three will be selected. Now hold the option key and drag all three sections to the right to place them on bar 25.
Also, how do you specify that you only want to loop X times? I can get a perpetual loop but I have to turn it off to get it to stop. This is very inconvenient when I'm playing.
You can control looping in a few ways.
1. Go to a region that does NOT have looping checked. Click near the TOP RIGHT of the region in the arrange window. Drag to the right to specify where the looping will stop. This is tricky... if you click too low, it will extend the length of the region. You must click the correct spot near the top to control looping.
2. For a region where looping is checked, go to the end of the region in the arrange window (at the end of the song) and do as #1 above. Drag to the left until you reach the point where you want the region to stop looping.
3. Use the "pencil" tool to create a blank region where you want the first region to stop looping. If your 8-bar verse is repeating once, create a blank region at bar 17. The first region will stop looping there.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to see or play two video tracks at the same time?

I have video shot using two cameras at the same event. If I take the video and put it in a sequence, say video1 and video2, how can I watch both tracks at the same time so I can edit them? I tried using multi-camera monitor and have that show video1, while watching video2 in the right hand panel, but it doesn't work very well. By that, I mean the multi-camera monitor does not play at the same time. Instead, it stops, then when I play the other monitor it is still until I stop the other one. Then, it "catches up". If I play the multi-monitor, the other one is still until I stop the multi-cam monitor. So, anybody have a better solution that I can use where they both play at the same time?
BTW, my hardware is brand new and I have a 6-core i7-3930K processor with 16 GB of memory, so I don't believe the problem is with my hardware not being enough to run PPro 5.0 correctly.

How can I record an Audio Instrument (saxophone) and listen to a reference track at the same time?

How can I record an Audio Instrument, and listen to a reference track at the same time?

Are you using an external audio controller or the line-in and headphone jacks on the side of your computer? You shouldn't have an issue using headphones when you're recording through the line-in but you may want to make sure you have monitoring on and it's going to the right place.
If you're using an external audio controller, try making an aggregate device combining the controller and the "built-in output" into the same device. Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup, click the "+" sign at the bottom left to make a new device and check the "use" boxes to the left of the physical devices you want to use as part of that aggregate device. That is how I use the computer's speakers or headphones to monitor my input as opposed to only being able to use the output on my audio controller.
Now that I see some of the questions on the side of this page I realize that the 13" MBPs seem to have only one combined input/output jack... That is an incredibly stupid feature. What on Earth could possibly justify that design decision? I suppose if that's the problem you're having you'll have to buy some sort of splitter (if they even make them) or get an external audio controller like an Apogee Duet or something along those lines. I would be furious if they combined those two jacks on all of the MBPs.

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

Can Express 9 play and record multiple instruments at the same time?

I have logic express 9 and was told with my interface that I can play and record different instruments at the same time on Express 9. Is this true because I have spent a long time trying to figure out how.

Hi,
to record multiple Inputs at a time, open up the appropriate number of audio tracks. Now for each track, select the correct Input in the Channelstrip.
Now, ARM all these tracks for recording by clicking the little red R in the track header or channelstrip. Now if you hit record, all these tracks should record simultaneously their respective inputs.
All other existing tracks should playback while recording.

Recording 4 microphones at the same time to GarageBand?

I'm wanting to record 4 microphones at the same time to Garageband on the iPad (4th Gen) for a 4-person podcast I'll be working on. I'm wondering if there's an inexpensive solution ($275 and under) to do that.
I'd like to be able to record each mic to a different track so I can work on them in post. I'd also like to be able to attach a MIDI keyboard for stuff unrelated to the podcast itself.
So far, I've been looking at these devices which all seem to have their own caveats:
Alesis IO Hub (only two XLR inputs)
Alesis IO Mix (no USB)
Focusrite 18i8 (a little over the price I wanted to pay)
Everything else I've looked at is either more expensive or has too few XLR inputs. If anyone out there can lend their expertise and advice to what my options are that would be great.
Thanks much,
Ray

Well, you can, but it is pretty darn expensive and requires quite a bit of hardware.

In Logic 9, is there any way of editing the take folders of, say, 7 different drum tracks at the same time, so that each track has the same changes applied to its takes?

Thanks. I know how to select multiple tracks in the mixer, did that and put on group clutch,
Hi
Wrong..
To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
Maybe this will help

How many shows can I DVR at the same time?

I just signed up for FiOS triple play with preferred HD, premium stations, 75/75 internet and phone. I was watching a show the other night and DVR'd 2 shows - got a message saying I couldn't do that. How many shows can I DVR at the same time? Can I still watch a live show while DVR's recording?
This is SO frustrating!

Every regular DVR has 2 tuners It can recordp to 2 shows at a time.
If both tuners are in use,, then you can't watch anything else.
Want to record more, get more DVRs or upgrade to Quantum.
Lowere level has 6 tuners. THey support remote TVs and recording.
THere agin, you can get combination of channels being watched and recorded up to 6.
Need even more, upgrade to higher level and have 12 tuners to share.

In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time? Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user. Thank you.

Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.
